From $0 to $1,300+ per Month in Less Than 4 Months Selling Kindle Books

It’s been quite the ride with kindle books for the past 4 months. I started publishing in mid January of this year and by April 20th I went over $1,000 in profit in a single month! I’m pumped to say the least! With everything that has been going on lately with Google and it’s algorithm updates, I needed to find a way to make money without using SEO.

I’ve also been reading some forums and blogs about the recent penguin update, and all I can say is – I don’t give two shits about it………….too soon???

If your site was affected and you think it shouldn’t have been, this is a great opportunity to stop building links, using crazy gorilla math on-page SEO, and start focusing on REAL advertising for your business and website(s).

Google is not the only place for “free” traffic you know. Facebook, Stumbleupon, and even Tumblr or WordPress have a large amount of potential customers in their “system” for which you can flog your shiz.

…I think that’s all I will say about that.

How I Started Selling Kindle Books

Back in December of 2011, a friend of mine sent me a link to a webinar where a guy was making $30,000 per month selling kindle eBooks. I thought it was another “get rich quick” program, but I soon found out that it wasn’t. The person holding the webinar, Ty Cohen, went through his process of creating and selling eBooks. He was using the Google Keyword Tool to do his research – which I found the hard way is not the way to go.

In early January of 2012, I published my first book, which was a “how to” book based on keywords…and it failed. I then did more research on how to sell kindle books and quickly realized that just looking at the best seller list is how I should be researching and finding book ideas. Since the books in those lists are already selling, you know what the market wants…pretty simple – just create something that people are already buying.

There is a lot more to it than just looking at the best seller lists, but for the most part, it helped me create my first successful series of books. I created a 4-book series in the Careers category in mid January…it took off from there.

Then I started a new series of books in March, and they also did very well! One of those books sold over 200 copies in a 2 day period! I just started working on my third series of books this month.

Kindle Profits for Past 4 Months

January 2012 – $112

February 2012 – $327

March 2012 – $578

April 2012 – $1,300+(approx 700 books sold in April)

It’s not quite the 15th of the month which is when the kindle sales report comes out, so I can’t give you exact profits for April. But I sold about 700 books in April which comes to about $1,400 ($2 profit per book).

Where to Go From Here

This month looks like it’s going to be another record sales month. It looks like I will hit the $2,000 mark. All the books I have published are consistently selling today. There is nothing I have done, other than testing price points, covers, and titles since publishing the books – it’s all on autopilot! Testing those things literally takes about 10 minutes since it’s pretty easy to change a cover, title, and price of your books.

This month, I will be rolling out 3 to 4 new books and I expect some really good sales results since I am refining my process.

My overall goal: 30 books and $3,000 per month of passive income.

Want to Learn How to Make $1,000 per Month Selling Kindle Books?

In a private community, I posted this same story of how I went from nothing to over $1,000 per month with kindle books in less than 4 months. I had a ton of people ask me to write a book about it and how to do it…so i did!

If you are interested in learning my process of research, content development, cover and title creation, etc. You can get the entire process in my eBook!

You don’t have to be a writer in order to make decent money either. I have outsourced 7 of the 8 books I have published. They have cost me between $90 and $180 to get written and have the covers created for me. In most cases, I get my money back within a month.
